FAQ: ABOUT THE PRODUCTS
What refined cooking oils does Premium Cooking Oils supply?
Premium Cooking Oils supplies nine types of refined edible oils for bulk wholesale export: refined sunflower oil, refined soybean oil, RBD palm oil and palm olein, refined canola oil, refined olive oil, avocado oil, refined coconut oil, refined corn oil, and rice bran oil. All products are food grade with full certification and documentation.
What is RBD palm oil?
RBD stands for Refined, Bleached, and Deodorised. RBD palm oil is crude palm oil that has been fully processed to remove colour, odour, and free fatty acids, making it suitable for food manufacturing, frying, and retail cooking. It is the standard commercial grade of palm oil used by food manufacturers and restaurant chains worldwide. Premium Cooking Oils supplies RBD palm oil and RBD palm olein, which is the liquid fraction preferred for cooking and frying applications.
Is your sunflower oil non-GMO?
Yes. Sunflowers are not commercially genetically modified, so all commercial sunflower oil is naturally non-GMO. We provide non-GMO declarations with every sunflower oil shipment. For soybean oil and canola oil, non-GMO options are available on specific request, sourced from certified non-GMO facilities.
Are your cooking oils halal certified?
Yes. Our RBD palm oil, refined sunflower oil, refined soybean oil, and refined canola oil are available with halal certification from recognised Islamic certification bodies. Halal certificates are included in the shipment documentation. All buyers supplying Middle East, North Africa, and Muslim-majority markets should specify halal certification requirements at the inquiry stage.
Do you work with verified buyers only?
Yes. We work exclusively with verified company buyers. All inquiries require company name and registration details before we issue a quotation. We do not quote to unregistered individuals. This protects the integrity of our supply chain and ensures all transactions are conducted through proper commercial channels.
